WD VelociRaptor HD Scores New Performance Peak with 1TB Model

Western Digital has announced availability of the WD VelociRaptor 1TB hard drive.

The largest capacity 10,000RPM hard drive on the market today, the VelociRaptor 1TB is designed for high-performance PCs, Mac computers and professional workstations which require a balance of high performance and capacity. Also available in capacities of 500GB and 250GB, the drive features read and write performance for creative professionals so they can increase productivity and optimize tools while at the same time increasing storage space.

The WD VelociRaptor 2.5-inch hard drive comes in the IcePack enclosure, a 3.5-inch mounting frame with built-in heat sink - a factory customization that fits the drive into a standard 3.5-inch system bay and prevents the drive from over heating when installed in a high-performance desktop.
